Show the right widget to the right audience
- Include or exclude page paths, from an entire documentation section to a single account area.
- Show chat only to logged-in visitors, selected WordPress roles, or eligible members.
- Support private DocsBot bots without exposing signing credentials in the browser.
- Choose whether to share a visitor’s display name, email, or raw WordPress user ID with the conversation.
Supported membership integrations
Use WooCommerce Memberships, MemberPress, Paid Memberships Pro, Restrict Content Pro, WP-Members, or approved Ultimate Member roles to control who sees the widget. If the selected membership integration becomes unavailable, the widget stays hidden.
Made for WordPress
Choose custom launcher icons, bot avatars, and header logos from the WordPress Media Library. The plugin keeps every control under Settings > DocsBot and adds no sitewide notices or nags.
Privacy and security
Public conversation identity is enabled by default for new plugin setups. You can independently turn off sending a visitor’s display name, email address, or raw WordPress user ID. It never sends membership, role, password, payment, or subscription data unless a site-specific filter adds it.
Private bots have one exception: a signed request for a logged-in visitor automatically includes the numeric WordPress user ID as private priv_user_id metadata. Guest requests do not include a user ID. Developers can add more trusted priv_* fields with the docsbot_private_metadata filter.
DocsBot keeps priv_* metadata out of chat history and AI model context while making it available to authorized integrations.
WordPress keeps the DocsBot API key on the server and uses private-bot signature keys only to create short-lived tokens. The plugin encrypts both credentials before database storage. php constants.
External service
This plugin connects to DocsBot, a third-party service:
- WordPress calls https://docsbot.ai/api when an administrator connects an account, reads the authenticated user’s current team, lists teams or bots, reads settings, or saves supported bot settings.
- DocsBot receives the entered prompt when an administrator requests a custom action button draft. The plugin saves that draft only when the administrator saves Actions.
- Eligible visitors’ browsers load https://widget.docsbot.ai/chat.js after an administrator enables the widget.
- DocsBot processes visitor chat messages and any identity fields the administrator chooses to share.
The DocsBot Privacy Policy and Terms of Service govern use of the service. Learn more in the DocsBot widget documentation.
